Greetings, I am running currently running FreeBSD 2.2.5 on our laptops at work and am in the midst of upgrading them to 2.2.7. However, I have run into one gotcha. The laptops have a touchpad, and under 2.2.5, I can quickly tap it and have that interpreted as a left mouse button under the XIG Neomagic X server. Under 2.2.7, I can not tap, whether I use the XIG X server or a freshly constructed XFree86 server using the unaccelerated Neomagic patches picked off the Web. The touchpad works perfectly as a mouse in all other situations. For another point of information, at home, I also use a touchpad under FreeBSD 2.2.7, and taps work just fine. The only difference is the lat- ter is attached to a serial port and the laptop touchpad to a PS/2 mouse port. Was some change made to the "psm0" driver between 2.2.5 and 2.2.7 to remove the tap? Has anyone else seen this symptom -- or even fixed it? Any pointers, fixes, or information is very welcome. I want my tap back! :) Doug Burks dbx@atmos.washington.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
